Morally the importer of liquors who sells
them in the original packages without re-
gard to the uses they are to be put to, is no
better than the ordinary seller, but legally
at the present time he is on different foot
ing. The latter is an intentional, undoubted
violator of the law of the State. There is
not the least color of right to sell in his case.
But it cannot be successfully denied that
the importer is acting under color of right
at least, The United States court in the
only case involving this precise question
ever brought before it, did decide that
statute of State that interfered with the
sale of various articles enumerated in the
statute, among which was intoxicating
liquors, imported under the laws of Con-
gress, by the importer in the original pack
age, was unconstitutional and void. The
Supreme Court of this State long after the
prohibitory law was passed, and in case
arising under that law, did in dictum give
full recognition to the validity of that decis-
ion. The statutes Of the State also assume
that the importer who sells liquors in the
original packages does not stand on the
same footing rs the ordinary seller. The
probability is that if the question should
again come before the United States court
it would decide that under the power of the
State to make police regulations for the ex-
cusion of articles deleterious to the public
health or public morals it was competent for
the State of Maine to forbid the sale of
liquor in the original packages by the i'm
porter. But the only decision existing at
the present time is in favor of the importers
right to sell in spite of any State legislation
TO the contrary.

1t will be observed in the first place from
this table that in the matter of their Chris
tian Names although CT course in no other
respects, the young ladies of 1887 are more
extravagant than their grandmothers were.
The liz girls of 1774-1S14 used but forty
Eve Christian names among them; the liz
girls of 1887, it win be observed, have used
sixty-seven. A still more striking fact is the
change in the assortment. 1t will be OBJ
served that but seven of the names used by
the liz of old times are used at all by the
liz OF 1887 that we have selected, Mary,
Martha, Hannah, Lydia, Fanny, Amy and
Elizabeth. OF course liz people is not a
large enough number for the deduction of an
absolute and accurate statement as the
use of names, but it does very well to show
the tendency of the fashion in names; and
this tendency wee see to be to put aside the
old names for new, or shorten the old names,
like Elizabeth and Susan to Lizzie and Susie.
Polly, Betsy, Sally, Jane, Susamfah, Nan
cy, Abigail, and Mehitable, very popular
names among our grandmothers, have been
put away, like the old ball droesoe -
haol~' = --NsSNs anu hisn-
-Do.ou slippers that figured in society in the
days of General Knox. Today. distinguished
by such names as Annie, Alice, Mabel, Jennie
and Grace, the beauty transmitted from other
generations continues its perpetual sway
Another thing noticeable from this COMPARE
son is the disappearance of such quaint
names, as Wealthy, Love, Charity and Tenn
perance. They have gone with the Pollys
and Sallys. Delight along among the names
of 1887 is left to suggest that trace of the
old Puritan sentiment yet survives.
In this evolution of names only the result
Of change of custom? Or is it natural
result dependant upon other causes? Per-
haps the names today are more refined and
delicate sounds when spoken, and therefore
more fitted to the young ladies of 1887, who
are admitted, of course, to have added the
refinement of the present to the inherited
beauty Of all the past.

Mr.. Cyrus w. Fields alleged to have been
mulcted in the recent financial furry in
Wall street to the tune of $2,500OOO. The
story is that he was betrayed by his confed-

honor which is supposed to exist among
thieves does not seem to prevail among the

would suggest that you get your blood in
good condition by the use of Burk's Sar-
saparilla and be free from all disease.
Cure for Dyspepsia We would say,
for the special treatment of dyspepsia
indigestion and weak stomach, there is
nothing better than Burk's Iron tonic. Ii
strengthens the stomach and aids diges
ton.
1t is worth remembering that nobody
enjoys the incest surroundings if they
are troubled with a hacking cough.
There are miserable people about today
to whom bottle of Burk's White Piue
balsam would do more good than all the
doctors and medicine they have ever used.
Hartz & BshnseD would recommend to
you Little Apricot pills. They are guar
anteed to cure dyspepsia and all diseases
arising from deranged stomach The
use of the pills occasionally will keep of
sick headache.
Pearly teeth and sweet breath can be
had only by using Cressler's Wild Rose
tooth powder.
Stuart's Arnica salve, surest cure for
cuts and burns
Burk's liniment cures all pains.

it to say, that they are both obstinate
and dangerous. To their prevention
Hostetter's stomach bitters is well adapt
ed. The stimulus which it lends to the
action of the kidneys when they art
lethargic. serve to counteract tendency
in them to lapse. first. into state of per
nicious inactivity, and afterwards into
one of positive organic disease. which
soon destroys their delicate lnteguments.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.


The Peoples Popular Ticket Receives
Heavy vote--Mr MeIntire IS Candf-
dacy--A strong Board.
The school election yesterday resulted
liz the election of the peoples popular
non bipartisan candidates, Messrs. James
II. Yore and Thomas H. Thomas, by
large majorities, and the attempt made
to cause departure from the present
excellent system in Rock Island OF
electing members of the board of educa-
ton by popular vote of the people. indie.
pendent of politics. was most emphatic
ally sat down upon. The ringsters
who sought to spring political
issue by opposing Mr., Yore,
were administered an effective and decid-
ed rebuke. In this regard the ARGUS
does not refer to the people who voted
for Mr.. McIntire, or those who urged his
candidacy, but to the well known
politicians and others who made them
selves conspicuous by their blatherskit-
ing, and who injured Mr.. McIutire more
than they did him good.
In regard to Mr.. McIntire's cam
didacy. it should be stated that he did not
seek to oppose the popular ticket. He
was urged to allow the use of his
name and he did not attempt or
desire to be elected. Had those who
brought him out named full ticket and
placed two candidates in the field instead
of lnaugurating three cornered fight,
there would have been more fairness in
the opposition to the popular ticket. Mr.
McIntire is the right kind of man ex-
actly for school director and our citizens
will undoubtedly have occasion to
call upon him to serve in that capacity in
the future. Under such circumstances
the ARGUS will cheerfully support him.
The election of yesterday called out an
unusually large vote. the total being 663,
of which Mr.. T. H. Thomas received the
exceedingly complimentary vote of 603.
Mr. j. H. Yore. against whom the princi>
pal opposition was made. received AS
votes to 272 for Mr.. c. G.. Mclntire
The new board of education will be
composed of J. W. WEIGH. J.. J. Reimers,

that Rock Island has ever had.
